How TO Style | Coffee Table Books

If you’re at all interested in home design or looking for inspiration for spaces like that empty corner in your study, you probably hop over to Instagram or Pinterest to check out your favorite bloggers and soak in all of the design inspiration you can. While this is a great outlet to really dive in for creative ideas, there will always be something appealing about flipping through a beautifully designed coffee table book for a conversation starter. We’re sharing a few styling tips and some of our absolute favorite selections that will make your coffee table the most chic

• Stick to odd numbered grouping for books (3 or 5, depending on size) 
• Keep it simple. For bigger or square tables, leave your books in a clean stack on a corner and nothing else.
• For round tables, think of the table top as a triangle. To keep things interesting, use our oval eye-tracking technique. Stack your books in one corner with a vase of fresh florals on top and a simple candle or glass beads to add dimensions in front - to balance it out add height on the opposite side of the table. ​

• Remember your coffee table is being viewed from all angles. Instead of a picture frame that someone could see the back of from a certain side of the room, opt for a vase or sculptural object instead that will look great from all points.
• Pair book jackets that compliment one another, even consider removing the jacket all together to just use the bare book cover.
• Play up texture and dimension by adding height with vases or sculptural objects. Flat surfaces can be visually boring - guide the eyes with different heights.
